Solution
(i) with slope 2 and y-intercept 3m = 2, point is (0, 3)The required equation of line isy=mx+c⇒ y=2x+3(ii) Slope=−13,y intercept=(0, −4)m=−13, c=−4The required equation of line isy=mx+c⇒ y=−13x−4⇒ 3y+x=−12x+3y+12=0(ii) m=−2, c=−3The required equation of line isy−y1=m(x−x1)Since the line cuts the x-axis at (-3, 0) with slope -2, we have,y−0=−2(x+3)⇒ y=−2x−6⇒ 2x+y+6=0
